Monstera on Pink Background, Botanical Painting, Oil on Stretched Canvas, 18" x 24"

This botanical painting was inspired by my monstera plant and is composed of several layers. I started it off with acrylic for the initial sketch and the first couple of layers and then used water mixable oil for the last few layers.

This is part of my “Painting Small and Often” collection, inspired by Carol Marine’s practice of painting daily and small and letting go of imperfections, in which I created small quick studies in a maximum of 2 days. Rather than finished pieces, these are supposed smaller studies where I experiment with a different aspect of color theory, composition, tonal values, shadows and highlights.

For my sixth painting, I wanted to explore the use of complementary colors for the background. I chose a reference image of Alai Ganuza (www.alaiganuza.com), of a still life of tomatoes. I like the gradation effect of shadows, midtones and highlights on the tomatoes, using gestural, flat brushstrokes and the shadows they cast around them.

For my fifth painting in the series, I wanted to explore monochromatic tonal values using a very limited color palette. I chose different combinations of ultramarine blue and cyan blue for the background, and phthalocyanine blue for the pear. The varying degrees of blue gave the whole painting a very moody atmosphere while still showing the different values of blue.

This painting is based on my coleus plant and is more of an impressionist rendition rather than an accurate representation. The blue background contrasts well with the green foliage and the magenta interior of the leaves.

This painting was another experiment in color theory and how sometimes an object might not be the color that you think it is. For example, the white rose has various values of pale yellows and cream with only touches of bright white as the main highlights. I painted the background a complementary color of purple to make the yellows and creams pop even more. I used quick expressive brushstrokes to add movement to the swirling petal shapes.

Rather than finished pieces, these are supposed smaller studies where I experiment with a different aspect of color theory, composition, tonal values, shadows and highlights. This painting is based on a reference photograph by Martateron on Dreamstimes Images. I wanted to explore color theory and match as close as possible the colors of the nectarines by using complementary colors and playing around with values.

This mini painting, Magnolia Study II, of a pink magnolia flower blossoming on a tree branch with buds and green leaves is painted with acrylic paint on a bright teal green background. It is painted loosely with dynamic brushstrokes that portray movement and energy. This would make a perfect addition to a nursery, bedroom or hallway, especially when paired with the other magnolia painting in the set, Magnolia Study I.

This is part of the Magnolia Study set of paintings. This white magnolia flower was painted with acrylic paint with the green leaves painted with water-soluble pastels on a very dark, almost black background. The focus was on portraying the lilac shadows against the bright white highlights. This would make a perfect gift for Christmas and would be a lovely addition to a hallway, living room, bedroom or nursery, especially when paired with the other painting in the set, Magnolia Study II.

Painted with water mixable oils, this piece is part of the "Ordinary Days" collection, a series of small 10" x10" still life paintings where I used household and kitchen items I find around the house as a reference, in order to portray scenes of everyday life. The paintings were created in the span of a couple of hours, with quick dynamic brushstrokes and set against a textured background. This artwork would look great in the kitchen combined with other pieces in the collection.

The legend, the icon, the immortal...Frida Kahlo! For all her fame and genius, this is how I see Frida; surrounded by her birds and monkeys and flowers. Always flowers. She belongs to them as much as they belong to her. This painting was done in acrylic and soft pastels.

This floral painting of irises is my ode to spring and love of gardening. It was created in an impressionist, almost abstract style with very frantic dynamic brushstrokes to imitate the flowing movements of iris petals. A palette knife was used for the highlights and gold paint was used for the center of the flowers to contrast with the purples and pinks. The background and the flower buds are my favourite part of this painting.

An ode to the Wild West vistas depicted in contemporary shows such as "Yellowstone" and "The English". The mountains were done by a heavy application of oil using a palette knife. The texture is such that they almost jut out of the canvas making them the focal point. The bison were added as a background element and to portray a sense of nostalgia.

This painting done with an emphasis on warmer hues of reds, yellow and orange against a dark jungle-y background will brighten up any space. The oversized, almost surreal tropical flowers were created using smoother brushstrokes are juxtaposed against a background of interlocking leaves that were painted with a more dynamic brushstroke technique. The dragonfly provides another focal point for the painting and evokes an almost calming effect when contrasted with the burst of color from the flowers.

This painting is an amalgamation of different images. The dark and moody background and the jug are contrasted with the brightness of the fruit. Smooth static brushstrokes were used with highlights and shadows to indicate the reflection of the fruit on the jug and table. This will make a nice addition to a kitchen or dining area.

Loosely based on a photograph by one of my favorite National Geographic photographers, Stephen Wilkes, this painting was done using Winsor and Newton water-mixable oil paints. I love stormy skies and in another life I might have been a storm chaser. The focal point is the overwhelming and almost cavernous, cloud-filled sky. This is juxtaposed with the horse, intentionally painted in a much smaller scale to give the sense of distance and being swallowed up by the sky. The image is almost peaceful for all its ominous undertones.

Cornwall has always been on my bucket list of places to visit. I saw an image of these mines a few years ago and I just fell in love. I used a variety of palette knife and quick, dynamic brush stroke techniques to depict the waves crashing on the cliffs and to capture the mines in their lonely, ruined state. This painting is for anyone who loves the wild Cornish coastline.
